Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

8

8. The wireless communications apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the receiver is further configured to detect the aperiodic TRS with a transmission power which has a fix relationship with a transmission power used for transmitting a SSB in the same cell.

9

9. The wireless communications apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the receiver is further configured to receive an indication of a transmission power of the aperiodic TRS, wherein the indication comprises a power value or a power offset to a transmission of a SSB in the same cell.

10

10. A base station apparatus comprising a transmitter, wherein the transmitter is configured to send a message configuring a tracking reference signal (TRS) resource for SCell activation for configuring a TRS for SCell activation as a time-frequency synchronization signal, wherein the TRS resource is an aperiodic TRS resource, wherein the SCell is activated by a MAC CE and the aperiodic TRS is triggered by a MAC CE, and wherein the aperiodic TRS is triggered in slot n1 and the aperiodic TRS is transmitted in slot n1+X, wherein X is an offset configured by a RRC message or defined by a protocol.

11

11. The base station apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the aperiodic TRS with a transmission power which has a fix relationship with a transmission power used for transmitting a SSB in the same cell.

12

12. The base station apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the transmitter is further configured to indicate a transmission power of the aperiodic TRS, wherein the indication comprises a power value or a power offset to a transmission of a SSB in the same cell.
